St. Anthony: What Once Was Lost Now is Found

The following story is real and happened to a person I know very well. Before the story is the Novena that was used. You can always be sincere and ask St. Anthony (especially if you need to find a parking spot or find key) the rhyming prayer I learned from my 4th grade teacher in Catholic School: "Tony, Tony, look around something's lost (mention it) and must be found!" Keep saying this til you find it. You can also
just say St. Anthony I really need your help to find such and such..he is like a GPS.

 Oh most glorious St. Anthony, miraculous saint! You who have helped so many, I need your
help in this matter (fill in what it is.) In my hand I hold your image as I ask that you make sure
justice is fair to me. Comfort me in this hour of need, grant my petition with trust, Amen. (Make the sign of the Cross)


St. Anthony..what once was lost now is found.

I hadn't thought novenas did very much and to be honest had forgotten
a lot about my Catholic faith and became very cynical. Yeah, right I thought.
Saints can't help you and who knows if they really existed. I was skeptical
about everything and especially when it came to using a novena.

My mom had been missing stickers for a few months that were
from a dear friend in Japan and also a paper for my brother's
blood work that he had to get done. She couldn't find them anywhere.
Don't ask what made me turn to St. Anthony but I figured I had nothing to lose if it didn't
work since they had been missing and no one could find them. I began
the novena and looked at his image asking him each day to help me
or my mom find those stickers.

On the fifth day I had a strong sense of where to look. I went into
the closet and opened up a white dresser in the first draw and I couldn't
believe when I actually saw them there...I thought, "No...that can't be them."
But it was...they were found. I also go the bonus of pulling out another bag
and that blood work paper seemed to jump out...the other missing piece.
St. Anthony also led me to another lost item that I hadn't even asked him
for help with. We had looked in other places and never not once did we search
that closet or piece of storage unit.

I am still amazed at what happened and I'm here to say not only does
St. Anthony work, he exists, he cares and is a very nice fellow with a
sense of humor.

To anyone looking for any missing person, item, or needing to find
a job or solution..ask St. Anthony for help.

Thanks St. Anthony for what you did. You helped me to also find
my faith that was lost.
